Shakespeare Studies by Otto Ludwig

Best known today for his long novella Zwischen Himmel und Erde, Otto Ludwig (1813-1865) also aspired to be a successful dramatist. In order to improve his skills, he undertook a detailed study of the plays of William Shakespeare. In 1891, Adolf Stern organized material from Ludwig's original notebooks in topical order and published it under the title of Otto Ludwigs Gesammelte Schriften, Fünfter Band. This volume presents Ida Washington's (emerita, U. of Massachusetts) English translation of that text, along with an editorial introduction.
